预言以东受惩罚

35 耶和华对我说: “人子啊,你要面向西珥山,发预言斥责它, 告诉它,主耶和华这样说,‘西珥山啊,我要与你为敌,伸手攻击你,使你荒凉不堪。 我要使你的城邑沦为废墟,一片荒凉,这样你就知道我是耶和华。 因为你永怀仇恨,在以色列人遭遇危难、因罪恶受尽刑罚的时候,把他们交在刀下。 所以主耶和华说,我凭我的永恒起誓,你既然不憎恨杀人流血之事,杀人流血之事必临到你。 我要使西珥山荒凉不堪,消灭一切来往此地的人, 我要使丧身刀下的人遍布你的高山、丘陵、山谷和溪流。 我要使你永远荒废,你的城邑杳无人迹,这样你就知道我是耶和华。

10 “‘因为你曾说,犹大和以色列必归我,即使上帝在那里,我们也要吞并他们。 11 所以主耶和华说,我凭我的永恒起誓,你憎恨他们,满腹怒气和嫉妒,我也必这样对待你。我审判你的时候,以色列人就会认识我。 12 那时,你必知道我耶和华听见了你毁谤以色列山岭的一切话,你说,这些山岭荒废了,归我们所有了。 13 你妄自尊大,肆意毁谤我,我都听见了。 14 主耶和华这样说,普天下欢乐的时候,我要使你荒凉。 15 你既因以色列的荒凉而幸灾乐祸,我要让你遭受同样的下场。西珥山啊,你和以东都要荒凉。这样,你们就知道我是耶和华。’

西珥遭重罰的預言

35 耶和華的話臨到我說: “人子啊!你要面向西珥山,說預言攻擊它, 對它說:‘主耶和華這樣說:西珥山啊!我要與你為敵,伸手攻擊你,使你非常荒涼。 我要使你的城市變為廢墟,你必然荒涼,那時,你就知道我是耶和華。 因為你永遠懷恨,在以色列人遭遇災難,刑罰到了頂點的時候,你把他們交在刀劍之下, 所以我指著我的永生起誓,我必使你遭受流血的報應,這血必追趕你;你既不恨惡流人的血,這血必追趕你。這是主耶和華的宣告。 我必使西珥山非常荒涼,我必從那裡剪除來往的人。 我必使西珥的眾山布滿了被殺的人;被刀劍所殺的人必倒在你的小山、山谷和所有的溪澗中。 我必使你永遠荒涼,你的城市必沒有人居住;你們就知道我是耶和華。

10 “‘因為你曾說:這兩國這兩邦都必歸我,我必得它們為業,但其實耶和華還是在那裡。 11 所以我指著我的永生起誓:我必照著你因仇恨而向他們所發的忿怒和嫉妒對待你。我審判你的時候,必把自己顯明在他們中間。這是主耶和華的宣告。 12 這樣,你就必知道我耶和華聽見了你的一切毀謗,就是你攻擊以色列眾山的話,說:“這些山都已經荒涼了!已經給我們吞吃了!” 13 你們用口說誇大的話攻擊我,說出許多話來與我作對,我都聽見了。 14 主耶和華這樣說:全地都歡樂的時候,我卻要使你荒涼。 15 你怎樣因以色列家的產業荒涼而歡樂,我也必照樣待你。西珥山啊!你和以東全地都必荒涼。他們就知道我是耶和華。’”

預言以東受懲罰

35 耶和華對我說: 「人子啊,你要面向西珥山,發預言斥責它, 告訴它,主耶和華這樣說,『西珥山啊,我要與你為敵,伸手攻擊你,使你荒涼不堪。 我要使你的城邑淪為廢墟,一片荒涼,這樣你就知道我是耶和華。 因為你永懷仇恨,在以色列人遭遇危難、因罪惡受盡刑罰的時候,把他們交在刀下。 所以主耶和華說,我憑我的永恆起誓,你既然不憎恨殺人流血之事,殺人流血之事必臨到你。 我要使西珥山荒涼不堪,消滅一切來往此地的人, 我要使喪身刀下的人遍佈你的高山、丘陵、山谷和溪流。 我要使你永遠荒廢,你的城邑杳無人跡,這樣你就知道我是耶和華。

10 「『因為你曾說,猶大和以色列必歸我,即使上帝在那裡,我們也要吞併他們。 11 所以主耶和華說,我憑我的永恆起誓,你憎恨他們,滿腹怒氣和嫉妒,我也必這樣對待你。我審判你的時候,以色列人就會認識我。 12 那時,你必知道我耶和華聽見了你譭謗以色列山嶺的一切話,你說,這些山嶺荒廢了,歸我們所有了。 13 你妄自尊大,肆意譭謗我,我都聽見了。 14 主耶和華這樣說,普天下歡樂的時候,我要使你荒涼。 15 你既因以色列的荒涼而幸災樂禍,我要讓你遭受同樣的下場。西珥山啊,你和以東都要荒涼。這樣,你們就知道我是耶和華。』

35 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,

And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.

I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:

Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.

Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.

And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.

I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

10 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the Lord was there:

11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.

12 And thou shalt know that I am the Lord, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.

13 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.

14 Thus saith the Lord God; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.

15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
